Almaz Architect Sdn Bhd’s design policy is to develop a truly contemporary Malaysian architecture, easily identifiable, not too ethnic yet distinct from the Balinese and Thai neighbours. We steer away from symbolisms. Instead, we adopt and enhance design elements, which evolved through traditions, which in turn were created from our forefather’s response to the tropical climate. Our design impulsion is to shade the sun, catch the breeze and reduce the carbon footprint to the greatest extend possible. Our love for water landscape elements evolve tremendously and has became our foundation in developing our design. We strive to connect the outside with the inside so that man is not detached from nature, neither is he stifled by it, but rather he is comforted by it. Our design approach is to first study the natural terrain of the site and design around it with minimal earthwork as possible. We will work closely with the client and together work out a brief, which describes and determines the needs and goals of the client. All these will crystallizes in the design of the final product.
